George W. Bush: “It is important for all our citizens to know the history of the African American struggle for equality.”

We know our words cannot help, but we believe the prayers of so many Americans will.

We are grateful to the first responders and volunteers who are working to find the missing and comfort the grieving at Camp Mystic and along the Guadalupe.

Those who have lost their precious children are facing a grief no parents should ever know.

If any voters came hoping for a kind word and a hug, they’d have to settle for the kind word.
